Xia Lu went to one side and shakily wrote down the address of the triad boss. The words were crooked, but it was still legible. Qiao Mei looked at the note and said, "If it's a fake address, I'll keep my word. The two of you will be buried with my children. Do you understand?"
"Yes…" Xia Lu said fearfully.
Qiao Mei and Xia He went to a phone booth first to inform Xia Wen and Zou Ming about the exact location of the triad boss. Then, she called Chi Ze and asked him to bring his buddies to wait near that location. It was actually very close to the factory.
This group of human traffickers was very smart. They lived in an abandoned village where very few people went. Even if the kidnapped victims escaped, it was impossible for them to return to the capital alive. The journey was long and it would be impossible for a child to find the way home.
"Hey! Can you do something about this child! She's been crying the whole way!" a fierce-looking man said.
"I've never given birth before! What can I do! If she keeps crying, just drug her!" an older woman said.
There were three or four other men standing guard outside. The man in the house was the leader of this gang. No one knew his name and everyone called him Brother Dao. That woman was Brother Dao's wife, so everyone naturally called her Sister-in-law Dao.
"Hmph, you're an old hen who doesn't know how to lay eggs! You didn't lay even one egg after so many years!" Brother Dao said disdainfully.
"How dare you criticize me! We don't even know who's the one who's infertile! If I can lay eggs! Why do I need to do this with you! Don't talk so much nonsense! Go and get some sedatives for these two babies! I'm going to go mad from the noise they're making!" Auntie Dao said impatiently.
Brother Dao looked at the shelf at the side. Their last bottle of sedative was used to knock Liu Fen out. There was no excess sedative left to use on the two children, only a thin layer of powder left.
They had actually brought a lot of sedatives with them this time round, but because there was no news from Xia Yan for a long time, they had kidnapped seven to eight other children in the past week. These children had already been shipped out to be sold, but they did not expect to end up with insufficient sedatives.
If they did not earn the money that was right in front of them, then were they not fools? Moreover, when they saw those children who were on their own, it was too tempting for them. If Xia Yan's a.s.signment did not work out, they could still rely on these children to recover their cost!
"These two children are worth a lot of money! If we drug them too much and damage their brains, they won't be worth much anymore!" Brother Dao said with heartache. He did not care about the children, but he cared about the money! In his eyes, Xia Fan and Xia Xing were equivalent to piles of money!
"Then just drug the girl. That boy is quite obedient and doesn't make any noise," Auntie Dao said as she pointed at Xia Xing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Fan started crying loudly, even louder than Xia Xing. His cries drowned out Xia Xing's cries, scaring her so much that she quickly shut her mouth.
"Hey! Look! The boy is starting to cry and the girl is not crying anymore! It's all your fault for having such a foul mouth!" Brother Dao said angrily.
"Then let's just bear with it. If there's something wrong with a boy's head, he won't be worth anything anymore. Even if a girl is an idiot, she can still give birth when she grows up! How jinxed. If not for the fact that we're paid a lot of money, I won't do this business!" Sister-in-law Dao said angrily.
Qiao Mei and Xia He parked the car near the village. They were worried that the sound of the car's engine would alarm the human traffickers. Chi Ze and the others met up with Qiao Mei soon after that.
"Elder Sister, we've observed them for a long time. There are only six people inside, five men and one woman. They don't have any weapons in their hands. Should we just rush in?" Chi Ze whispered.
They were really ex-soldiers. Before Qiao Mei said anything, they had already checked out the nearby terrain and the situation with the enemy.
"Are the children inside?" Qiao Mei asked.
"It's not easy to confirm. We didn't go near their house because we were afraid of alerting them," Chi Ze said honestly.
Qiao Mei secretly scattered the vine seeds at the corner of the wall. The vines instantly grew crazily underground and quickly enveloped the entire village. Qiao Mei discovered the location of the children soon. Xia Fan was still crying so loudly that his voice was hoa.r.s.e. Xia Xing lay beside Xia Fan and quietly looked at him.
